As I was surfing through Facebook just now, I came across Bud's status. Genesis 10 says: "God says, 'This is my covenant forever: I have placed a rainbow in the clouds and it is a sign of my covenant between me and all the earth.' "
Before I came to Brasil, I met with Angie Duplaga, who stayed here in August just before me. She was very excited for me and could not wait to hear about all my experiences. She also told me a little testimony of her flight down. She was very nervous, but then she told me she looked out her window and saw a rainbow. She took great comfort in that and she trusted God in protecting her fully.
I was very nervous for the trip down here as well. I tend to think too much about things and it gets me worried. I need to stop that and put full trust in God. He reminded me of this while in Atlanta on my way to Manaus. You can probably guess where I'm going with this... I looked out of my window once we were airborne, because we had been on the airstrip for a while due to a storm. And what did I see?
A rainbow.
Yeah. God is good and His love for us endures FOREVER. After that I was comforted and knew God was holding the plane with His loving embrace and blessing the trip. I did not have any mishaps along the way, either. Which was an answer to prayers.
Angie if you are reading this right now, I am so glad you told me about the rainbow you saw. You thought it was flaky telling me but really, thank you. It helped me tremendously.
That is so cool Dillon! God knew you would remember that story and He showed you that rainbow to give you comfort!! Oh how He loves us so!
ReplyDeleteNeat story Dillon. Hey By the way, Im hooked on Future of Forestry - my favorite song is "Did you loose yourself?" It plays in my head all the time.
ReplyDeleteHey Dillon! Cathy texted me today and told me that I should read your blog. I am so glad that my story encouraged you, and wow, not that I had any doubt, but God provided you YOUR rainbow! :) He surely never ceases to amaze us that is for sure. :) I am so glad you are having a wonderful time down there and your mom told me that you and Allison are becoming great friends! There is just another praise! I can not wait to see the way He works in and through you in Brasil! I guess I will have to check this thing more often. haha You have been in our prayers. Give hugs for me to the Simon's and to Cleidi, Tati, and Angelica! God Bless, Angie
